At the end, he was still staring at Shen Lie who was standing motionless on the ground with caution.

Perhaps, from his perspective, the Pope, who had been forced to speak so many words by the mouth, should fight back.

But–

She didn’t fight back.

Just lay quietly for a while.

Finally, turned and left.

In this battle of mind attack and defense, Kanzaki Kaori was completely defeated—

Behind the screen…

Index also saw this scene.

Watching the video in silence, he finally understood why this female pope who had repeatedly hunted him down would occasionally reveal an indelible sadness beneath her cold expression when they met.

Chapter 7. Because I am the protagonist

trust.

An important thing to build a bridge of bond between the two.

There is trust.

There is room for communication.

If there is no trust, no matter how closely the two talk, it will only be a pretense.

Trust, there is mutuality.

Identify each other, recognize each other, and believe in each other.

This is the relationship between Touma and Index.

And Kanzaki and Stiyl…

It has been like this before.

Unfortunately, this friendship could not withstand the ravages of time.

When facing the collapse of the bridge that broke all trust, Kamisaki Kaori was destined to lose in this battle of wills.

This victory.

Real and effective!

There is absolutely no element of opportunism.

Belief is a high-level spiritual power that only primates are qualified to touch.

This battle of the heart.

A defense for the girl who had helped him out of kindness.

In order to save Index, he resolutely risked his life and had no courage to retreat.

As Index’s best friend, he has no reason to speak so arrogantly since he has not yet experienced any pain.

“But… the magician admitted defeat, and the reason is very clear, isn’t it?” In the story world, Araragi sighed and was impressed by Touma’s kindness. He felt a little resonance and empathy: “It was Mr. Touma’s kindness, and his desperate efforts to gain a glimmer of hope, that the enemy finally felt a little guilty!”

“Kindness will radiate and infect those around you. Touma’s kindness awakened Kanzaki’s hidden pain and made her struggle even more.” In the Pokémon world, Brock was also moved by this scene and deeply admired this brave and sincere boy.

Yes..

In the eyes of Kamijou, and to the audience who resonate with Kamijou, this bold statement seems like unreasonable trouble;

But he saw Touma fainted.

Kamiya Kaori was hesitant to take ruthless action.

She vaguely saw some kind of shadow on Touma’s side.

It is the shadow of myself who has not given up yet and is full of enthusiasm to help my best friend… and is still persisting.

This is a destined defeat, an irreversible setback.

The mist was thick until Index arrived to rescue Touma.

The female pope who had escaped with the wind stood alone on the top of the building. The city was noisy with the clinking of glasses. Her emotions were also affected by the overly idealistic naive theories, and she sighed silently.

Undoubtedly a setback.

It also made the audience stand in awe.

This person is called Kamijou Touma, and he is ranked in the top four of this ranking.

Just these first two or three scenes are enough to explain it.

The scene ends.

By the time Touma regained consciousness, about three days had passed.

Index, who was sitting beside him, lowered her head in frustration, feeling guilty.

It can be considered a brief exchange after a few days.

In other words—

“It’s destined, the final deadline.” With Touma’s murmur, the story will finally come to its final scene.

He had known this clearly when he had seen the magicians coming to visit him.

What touched him even more happened at this time.

It’s Index.

She yearns for freedom and hopes to embrace a sunny life. When the magicians stepped into the threshold, she suddenly stood in front of Touma’s bed.

Her body is still petite and weak.

The words were clear and firm.

“I won’t leave again, so please let Touma go.”

The girl named Index made this condition after promising to abandon herself.

The sorrow that made them want to cry also made Shen Lie and Stilton feel torn apart.

Index looked like this.

Long time no see.

So, after looking at each other for a while, he turned back, leaving a final deadline for Touma and Index to say goodbye.

“Just like in the past, their deadline is the same as Index’s…” In RE0 Witch World, Natsuki Subaru sighed heavily.

He has seen the clues.

This peer has a kind nature.

There was a sense of mutual sympathy at first sight… no, or rather, in terms of kindness alone, Natsuki Subaru, who was particularly fond of and attached to his friends, thought he was inferior to Touma.

Touma is a very kind person, and he uses his kindness to alleviate the various violent incidents around him.

However..

“Hmm… If you simply interpret it this way, I’m afraid there is no nutritious point of view at all, Natsuki Subaru~~” Roswaal’s humorous laughter cut off Natsuki Subaru’s sigh of praise, and also made the latter feel suffocated.

Ever since Natsuki Subaru learned the whole truth and realized that he would eventually defeat Natsuki Subaru, Roswaal temporarily put aside all his conspiracies and devoted himself to observing this traveler from another world.

To be honest, this guy is too honest and naive, so much so that he sometimes needs someone with more experience to teach him how to look at things.

I am still too young and only see the superficial expression.

“Listen carefully, Natsuki Subaru… Just like the previous growth-seeking people, they can radiate the growth of their companions around them.”

“And, your previous love also influenced the people around you, didn’t it? For example, I was supposed to be the stubborn teacher who was resurrected in the original storyline, including conservatives like Garfiel who retreated to the Sanctuary. Mr. Kamijou Touma has the same effect~~”

As he spoke, Roswaal made an “Okay” gesture and raised three fingers. His humorous tone became indifferent and serious.

“Three… yes, three. Haven’t you noticed that all the characters who have appeared so far have had something to do with Kamijou Touma?”

“Didn’t you notice that Kamijou Touma-kun, not long after he appeared on the stage, has already influenced and changed three characters, Natsuki Subaru-kun?”

Rather than pure kindness, it’s something deeper.

I think the ranking of the protagonists also follows a cyclical pattern.

The protagonist on the list so far.

Each one profoundly impacted those around them.

Kamijou Touma was the one who showed this trait the fastest.

In the blink of an eye.

He has gradually influenced three people around him.

For Touma, Index gave up escaping and chose to face the decision of her fate calmly.

The magician Stiyl did not start a fight when they met again, and agreed to let Touma say his final goodbye to Index for the time being.

Not to mention Kamijou Kaoru, whose personality correction punch woke up the world’s no more than twenty saints, magicians whose combat power far exceeded the boy’s own, and they decided to give him a final deadline to say goodbye.

A subtle moment.

The boy named Kamijou Touma has completely changed the three companions who have appeared around him.

This trait was also observed and explained by viewers in the live broadcast room.

At the beginning of human nature is good.

Touma’s kindness and his persistence in his true nature can even change the people around him.

at this point.

There are such people among the audience, or people in Academy City who know Touma, and even in distant overseas regions.

“That’s right, this can also be considered a miracle.”

“However, this characteristic also proves that this young man’s existence poses a great threat to the current order.”

In a certain area of ​​Europe.

A tall, handsome, resolute and gentlemanly man stood there and commented in a deep voice.

His identity is the sacred right throne.

The water behind.

He saw this scene, his expression calm as he commented on the boy’s actions indifferently.

“In the future, this ability may cause social unrest, so…”

【Ding Dong Ding Dong…】The cell phone rang.

It was a little while later that Hou Fangzhishui made a call.

This is different from the handsome god’s desire to continue observing Touma’s abilities.

Hou Fang, who was cautious by nature, immediately thought of eliminating this troublesome boy as soon as he noticed Touma’s ability.

Whether as a magician or an ordinary citizen of this world.

He believes that this ability to disrupt the balance of the orderly cycle should not exist and is something that will inevitably cause social unrest.

so..

Earlier, he had made a phone call hoping to find an opportunity to communicate with Academy City’s top brass to peacefully resolve the issue of Touma’s right arm, and he had also booked his flight tickets in advance.

However..

“Has the Academy City airport stopped operating?”

This result is somewhat regrettable.

But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.

Academy City is no pushover no matter what.

This ability to possess both types of immunity should naturally give it special abilities for immune research, but… one should be wary of what Academy City, which holds such a powerful weapon, is secretly planning.

The water behind acknowledged.
